You lucky dog.

I ordered my powerbook (17") direct from Apple today. My shipping estimate is the eighteenth. You'll be all worn out with your new toy long before I even see mine.

You lucky Dog!
I ordered my 15 inch direct from apple yesterday and it's not set to ship until the 24th.
So I don't want to hear another word from you!

[nikoz1200]

Got it yesterday, and it's great. Im still learing the OS and getting my settings xfered from my other machines. Likin it lots so far.

Congradulations nikoz1200. I hope that you enjoy your new purchase. And welcome to MacNN.

Delete Norton. Don't use Norton! Search the many threads on Norton. That's why it's not made for the OSX anymore. Other than that, enjoy.

Good purchase! I'm still chugging along with my 1Ghz baby but do wish that I had the funds right now to upgrade...

Congrats on your new toy. I agree about Norton...these folks convinced me that it's unnecessary on a Mac. I still run it on my PC, though...

Voch

[tictactoe]

Congratulations, I'm sure you will love it

Congrats! I just picked up my 12" superdrive last night from the apple store. Very awesome little notebook

Won't an extra stick of 256 mb not do you any good? I thought the 12" was shipping with 256 mb built-in and a stick of 256 in the extra slot, bringing you up to the advertised 512 mb.

Hopefully Macmall meant that they were giving you an extra 256 mb in the form of a stick of 512 mb.

Congrats!

How's the screen on this compared to the previous 12" models? Any different?

Hey guys I just ordered mine too, it should be here by the 17th. I have two questions. I checked on memory to buy outside apple and there is big difference. Kinsigton $339 vs memorytogo $236 for 1gig ... any suggestions? Is the memorytogo anygood?

The other question I have is about printer software. I have an HP psc2110 hanging out of a old PC somebody told me that there is a piece of software that makes it very easy to find printer ques on PC from a mac. I have not been able to find what this software is called. Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch

The two RAM sources I recommend:

http://eshop.macsales.com (aka OWC)
http://www.transintl.com

I know you can get super-cheap no-name RAM because I have some... but it went bad and I had to go through a lot of hassle, so I'll stick with the sources that have served me well for years. And which are much cheaper than Apple for sure!
